Well, after my recent move I was hardly in the mood to go to a "Quilter's Estate Sale" but you know I just couldn't resist. A gal I work with told me about it, so yesterday at noon, she and I went to Owasso, OK to this sale. The sale was in a large barn. Loads of stuff. Some very unique findings. I was so disiciplined I surprised myself. Most of the bulk of the fabric was already gone. We were told the Guild members arrived at 6:30 and bought huge amounts of fabric for 1.00 a yard. When we got there, there were still 7 sewing machines left, loads of fabrics, embroidery floss, UFO inpackages with everything needed to make the quilt. Amazing, this lady was amazing. I was so tempted to purchase some "Tatting supplies" that she had, I am really not a tatter, even tho I taught myself from watching viedos on YouTube. She had the most unusual little longated spools that she kept her tatting thread on. But, I resisted I did buy a black & white quilt kit she had going, pattern, fabric which she already had cut, etc.the mock Double Wedding Ring pattern and a little Metal Sewing tin (I don't think it was old, but really cute)
anyway.....loads of stuff, this gal spent a fortune. And there really was a lot of fabric left, but she and I really didn't have the same taste in fabrics. I know the quilting world will surely miss this lady and she will be happy to know loads of quilters got her stuff.
Oh I'm sitting here trying to not be jealous! Ken and I love to go to estate sales, and I've never been to a quilter's estate sale. What fun!!
